Grab this book if you're a fantasy romance reader who loves these:

✨️ ‘who did this to you’
✨️ spice and bantering!
 
The plot is interesting to follow with the mystery element added inside.
The world building is simple but it’s still fascinating. It wasn’t too complicated and I enjoy my time getting to know this world’s system with different type of Fae and their powers.
 
The characters are loveable and well developed as well.
Cassandra is a strong and badass woman with a kind and passionate heart to help people. I really like Cassandra’s character grows throughout the story since she met the flirty gorgeous winged Fae – Tristan (MMC). I also adore their bantering and things can get a lot spicier between them as the story goes....!   

I also love Cassandra’s friendship with Xenia, their interaction liven up the story and I found myself rooting for Xenia and Cael – Tristan’s best friend and partner on the investigation. I hope to see more of them together in the next book!
 
The last few chapters has a lot of twist. Some questions that popped along the investigation were finally answered.
AND the epilogue that comes with one last twist REALLY made me want to grab the 2nd book immediately!
 
Overall for a debut novel, this is pretty well written and a great introduction for a series!
This book has all the good elements and everything was executed well enough, I was hooked into the story right from the beginning.
I’m excited to read the sequel to find out what happens next and explore more about this unique world!
